GLAD SUNSHINE FILLS THE SKY.

Talk not of sad November, when day
OF warm. glad sunshine fills the sky of noon.
And wind, borrowed from some morn o,
June,
sLlfs tAo Drown grasses and the leafless spray
On the unfrosted pool the pillared pines
Lay their long shafts of shadow; the small rili
Singing pleasant song OF summer still,
A line OF silver, down the hill-slope shines
flushed the bird-voices and the hum of bees,
In the thin grasses the crickets pipe no more:
But still the squirrel boards his winter store
And drops his nutshells from the shay bark
trees.
Softly the dark-green hennlocks whisper; high
Above. the spires OF following larches show
Where the woodpecker and home loving crow
And jay and nut hatch winters threat DEFY,
Oh, gracious beauty, ever new and old
Oh, sights and sounds of nature doubly dear
When the low sunshine warns the closing ycar
OF showdown fields and waves of Arctic cold
Close to my heart / fold each lovely thing
The sweet day yields; and not 6isconSolate
with the calm patience OF the woods wait
FOR leaf and blossom when God gives us spring

IFor the RECORD UsIos.l
THE FORSAKEN CHAPEL.


Oh. cherished spot where Christian love
Descended from the realms aboyel
How sad you look, deserted there,
Where Oft lisped my humble prayer;
How oft your silent aisles I've trod
In mock submission to omnipotent God
How Oft the strains of music fell
Ger hill and valley, with its magic spell;
How Oft I've sat, with heedful ear,
To hear your Ginning bells SO clear
Ring out upon the silent air
Telling us It's the hour of prayer
No more the chimes of music swen
Ger towering mountain and woodland dell:
No more 1 kneel, when vesper calls,
Within your old and trembling walls
How cbsnged are all the scenes around
The pretty chapel and its grassy mound
Alas those scenes are past and gone
And now your left forsaken ana forlorn.
Oh, Time thy whitening hand has told
On this lone chapel, grim and oldi
Soon shall it fail, mid dust and clay,
mass Of ruins TO wither and decay.

Mary Queen of Scots.

Though born in Scotland, Mary Stuart
never possessed great fuency in the lam
guage OF the country over which she was
called 10 rule. Her knowledge of it was
acquired chiefly, ifnot wholly, after her re-
turn from France. Her father, from whom
she might have learned it in childhood, she
never knew. For her mother the northern
Doric remained through life foreign
tongue. The attendants with whom she
was surrounded in her earliest infancy
were either French or had been educated
in France. 1t is therefore questionable
whether she could express herself in what
was nominally her native tongue, even
when she sailed from Dumbarton on her
journey to the Court of the Valois That
she forgot whatever she may then have
known Of it is beyond doubt. Seven years
after she had left France she was still max
ing efforts to learn English, using transls-
tions-among others an English version of
the Psalms-for the purpose, but not meet
ing with signal success Conversing with
Nicholas White, as late as 1863. she began
with excuses for I" her i'll English. declar-
ing herself more willing than apt to learn
the language" 1t was toward the end of
the same year that she wrote what che her
self describes as her first letter in English.
This circumstance may warrant its repro
duchon, though as historical document
merely it possesses no Importance. 1t is

And whispering soft and sweet and low

Where dwell the pure, the good, the hiest
Where weary pilgrims are at rest.

Concert.

The Alpena Musical Society repeat
ed their concert Wednesday nigh
last, and were greeted by good au
dience. The society was assisted by
Miss III. M. Rood, of st. Clair, who
gave several songs and whistled obi
gatoes. The latter gave much salts
faction and brought Miss Rood some
warm and enthusiastic encores. The
whistling was immense, and in con-
nection with the piano accompaniment
was delightful to listen to.
The society, as usual, did remarka-
bly, well, rendering the following Sc.
lections: "Oh, Italia, Italia Beloved
Peasants Wedding March" Noun
tain Miners Song" and "Song of the
Lark" One of the finest pieces was
"Soft Floating on the Air." by Miss
Roberts. Mrs. Comstock, and Messrs.
Comfort and Macauley, with distant
chorus by society. The other music
al selections we're "What e'er Betide,''
Miss Alice Oliver serenade, for brass
instruments. Messrs. easier. Cooley,
Howard and McRae quartet, Gall
Among the Barley" Misses Kelley,
Spratt and Messrs. Warren and Pot
ter; quartet, Awake, the Flowers
Unfold" Miss Oliver, Mrs. Gray,
Messrs. Dunlop and Crissman "Blu-
men Polka" song, Miss Kelley; solo,
Daughter of Error" Miss Small,
with chorus by society. A lecture by
Miss Della Kelly, on "Old Mother
Hubbard" was we'll rendered, and so
was the violin solo by Prof. easier.
Instrumental music was given by Prof.
and Mrs. White, Mrs. Geo. Plough
and Miss Ripley. and banjo and
guitar solo by Messrs. Plough, Corbin
and Howard. The concert, taken al
was very enjoyable and those
present could not help but feel enter
tanned.

FIJI. Furbusb,s bu, !, a GREAT con-

+. II. Furbush's bus is a great con-
venience to those citizens who have to
make the mile and quarter journey
to or from the depot. Rain or shine,
early or late, Furbush is found at his
post, and on stormy wintry nights it
must be pleasant sight to citizens,
as they alight from the train, to see
his handsome, commodious, covered
bus close by, and hear his CHEEKY
voice ring out: "Bus to any part of
the city," and then for small sum,
the traveller is driven to his residence,
thus avoiding long and disagreeable
walk through the snow. The outfit
cost some 5000, and we are glad to
note that Mr.. Furbush has plenty of
patrons. If he is notified to call and
take a person to the depot. he can be
depended upon to be on hand in time
to take said person to the depot in
time to leave on the train.

The Need of Missions.

Miss Sybil Carriers lecture OH mis-
sionary work, at Trinity church, Sun.
day night, was the cause of much
pleasure and edifcation to the many
persons present. Miss Carter has
very agreeable and pleasing manner
of conveying her ideas. her voice is
pleasant one, remarkably clear, and
her argument convincing. She spoke
of the benefit of missions not only to
people in our own land, but to those
in other countries. First she sketch
ed the condition, past and present, of
the negroes in this country, stated the
wrongs done them by those who had
stolen them from their African homes
and sold them as slaves. Then she
pictured their helpless condition at
the close of the war and showed what
a great change they had accomplished.
They needed missionary help to keep
them from drifting into paganism.
The speaker then took up the In
dian question. She did not believe
in the theory that dead Indian was
the best Indian. This whole country
was once owned by them, but they
were gradually being driven to ex-
termination by the whites. The white
race had done but very little to re-
claim them from their savage nature,
and great responsibility rested upon
the Americans for their management
Of the Indians. Their former homes
and hunting grounds had been taken
from them, and instead of teaching
them to become CIVILIZED citizens, the
object of the white people seemed to
be to exterminate them. She knew of
no more pitiful object than an Indian
woman or sick Indian boy, and she
gave good reasons to show that the
Indians could be civilized.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1887-02-02
The principal part Of the speakers

The principal part Of the speakers
discourse was on the Mormon ques-
ton. and the want of true missionary
work among them. She gave album
dant proof of the good that can be
done, by giving history of how she
started free school in a Mormon
town, where no gentiles resided ut the
time she commenced. AS regards
Mormonism. she declared that the
greatest danger was not from its poll
granny creed, as that was sure to die
out itself It's great power lay in the
revelation doctrine. The Mormon.
ties were taught that the leaders had
revelations in regard to what should
be done by the people. That is they
claimed they were directed by God,
and this idea was SO impressed in the
minds of the people. that it was uni
versally believed and revelations obey
ed. The belief in this doctrine led
to sect growing up in our country,
who were hostile to the constitution
and laws-a sort of rebel, yet pas
sive, but only awaiting the chance to
rebel. Miss Carter stated that they
used two bibles. The one used in
Utah endorses poligamy, but the one
used in England, to obtain recruits,
declared that man should only have
one wife. Several affecting stories
in regard to tire horrors of the po-
ligamy system were related.
Miss Carriers argument. as to the
need of missions and the good caused
by those established, was a convinc-
ing one, and was intently listened to
by the many present. A pleasant
part of the evenings service was the
fine singing of Trinity choir, and the
organ music by Prof. White.
